| Sumario: | This study examined whether online video-based learning mitigates the impact of basic care tasks on caregiver stress among family caregivers of adults with mental illness. A cross-sectional moderation analysis was performed using data from 412 family caregivers of adults with mental illness, drawn from a nationally representative U.S. survey. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were employed, followed by a moderation analysis. Basic care tasks significantly predicted caregiver stress (B = 0.425, p < 0.001, 95% CI = [0.324, 0.525]), and online video-based learning significantly attenuated this relationship (B = −0.228, p = 0.024, 95% CI = [−0.425, −0.031]). The association between basic care tasks and caregiver stress was weaker among caregivers who acquired skills through online videos compared with those who did not. Developing and disseminating high-quality, tailored video content through dedicated online platforms may strengthen caregiving competencies and reduce caregiver stress, and psychiatric nurses play a critical role throughout this process. • Family caregivers play an essential role in supporting adults with mental illness. • Basic care tasks among caregivers of adults with mental illness are linked to higher caregiver stress. • Online video-based learning mitigates the impact of basic care tasks on caregiver stress. • Psychiatric nurses play a critical role in leveraging online video-based learning as a tool to reduce caregiver stress.
